		The President’s attempts to include the great majority of the population into the mainstream economy through the creation of micro-enterprises, cooperatives, access to banks and new jobs is praiseworthy, but has met with the inevitable stumbling block of resistance to change, translated into a stoppage that doesn’t give a toss for the “excluded ones”...

	Machiavelli And The Democrats: Divide And Rule
		He cited the ancient political maxim, divide et impera, “divide and rule.” In their struggle for the power to rule America, Democrats superbly adhere to Machiavelli´s principle as they divide Americans one against the other.
		The Democrats have also succeeded in dividing Americans along economic lines, pitting poor and middle class Americans against “the rich,” which includes a lot of ordinary people who make their money the old-fashioned American way: they earn it--and help the economy and create a passel of jobs in the process.
		In their exploitation of the divisions between rich and poor, Democrats have also divided “working Americans” against businessmen and “greedy corporate fat cats.” Democrats team up with union leaders in their battles against American businesses, then collect hefty political payoffs from union leaders and capture the union vote.

	SSRN-Kleptocracy and Divide-and-Rule: A Model of Personal Rule by Daron Acemoglu, James Robinson, Thierry Verdier
		Many developing countries have suffered under the personal rule of "kleptocrats", who implement highly inefficient economic policies, expropriate the wealth of their citizens, and use the proceeds for their own glorification or consumption.
		We argue that the success of kleptocrats rests, in part, on their ability to use a "divide-and-rule" strategy, made possible by weakness of the institutions in these societies.
		Kleptocratic policies are more likely when foreign aid and rents from natural resources provide rulers with substantial resources to buy off opponents; when opposition groups are shortsighted; when the average productivity in the economy is low; and when there is greater inequality between producer groups (because more productive groups are more difficult to buy off).
